The adiabatic bulk modulus of elasticity is equal to the isothermal bulk modulus divided by 1.4, equal to 107143.57 N/m^2. The ratio of Cp/Cv, which is the ratio of the heat capacities at constant pressure and constant volume, respectively, is used to calculate the adiabatic bulk modulus, which is the ratio of pressure increase to volume decrease when heat is removed from a gas. The adiabatic bulk modulus is determined by dividing the isothermal bulk modulus by the ratio of Cp/Cv.
